Harbor Freight tools thread.

Looks like a knock out set to me....

 

You win!

Hydraulic KO set.

 

I'm they have been posted but in the racing world I use the heck out of My HF flush cuts for wire ties. stop using standard cable cutters and leaving those sharp edges~! Also their dead blow hammers are great to have been using mine at work for at least 3 years now and minimal damage to rubber coating.

 

I have that same one and use it all the time to punch holes and then use it with my dimple dies to dimple the holes. it works great

 

What do you do to dimple them?

I used it yesterday and it works just as well as the $1000+ name brand units I've used.

 

I keep hoping for the 4 x 8 trailer to go back on sale again. $250, now they are $300. I want to put another together and stick it out to the road again.

That was a fun project that netted me some good WAM (walking around money).

Please let me know if they go on sale. I try to watch pretty close, but I could miss out by accident.

 

I have personally forbidden myself from visiting that place. Last time I spent time there, I ended up dropping $3,800 on a 12x16 lofted barn and who knows how much on tools and shelving inside.

 

Just got a new flyer yesterday , no freebies, no 20% off coupons. A few lawyers lives just got a lot better, at our expense, the way I see it.

 

Just use your phone.

 

And:

 

Thanks!
Got the coupon for the trailer. All areas do not get the same flyer. That trailer coupon was not in my email or snail mail.

 

Got a new welding cart. Haven't really had a chance to sort it out yet. Very good quality. Now to move my DC tig welder over to this cart. Has space for at least two helmets in the one side I have a third in the other side plus all of my spare mig spools and stick rods. Back side behind the tig are 3 or 4 holders for tig rod. Has two spots for full size bottles. Only down side is the chain for securing a bottle is too high for small bottles. $299.99 and really worth it for the quality. I think it weights 145lbs.

 

Forget that chain and use a web strap. I like the ones you winch down.

 

Chain isn't the issue it is the height of it. Perfect height for a full size bottle but too high for a 80cuft.

 

I see. How long before that can goes empty? Ask to go the next size bigger? The price of the gas won't be much different. It'll depend on the counter person. Some don't care what size can you take as long as you have a lease on file and you pay for the amount of gas.

 

I lease a full size argon. I also have a couple of 80's that I own. No use trying to sell as they are great when you empty a bottle in the middle of a job. Plus I don't use the mig enough to justify the lease rate vs my gas use so I keep to the 80 for it and then have my other 80 as a spare for argon.

80cuft is also great for portability.

 

Okay.
I don't see you having too much trouble McGyvering the rack to hold the small cans, though. You got the tools.

 

Meh its no different than it has been for years. Ive gotten plenty of flyers over the years that are just "item specials". Then next week will get a flyer (in with the junk mail) with the 20% and freebies.

What I need right now is them to do their 20% a whole order. I have so many small $5ish items that it would be quite nice

 

I've burned up two of the cheaper one and haven't killed the more expensive one yet.

 

I had one of the "drill master" ones a few years back. The first time I used it, the spindle lock button broke when I tried replacing the wheel. As I recall, the area around the button on the cast metal casing broke altogether. The metal is a super cheap die-cast aluminum type material and very brittle.

I replaced it with one of the "Chicago electric" versions and it has been going strong since. The outer casing is substantially heavier on mine.
